Antisera raised against idiotypic determinants (ID) of myeloma proteins and macroglobulins have been used to differentiate peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) populations from individual patients. ID-positive lymphocytes not resembling plasma cells have been regularly found in peripheral blood in these diseases. For further characterization ID-positive lymphocytes were enriched from the peripheral blood by affinity chromatography using heterologous anti-idiotypic sera. Two patients with IgG myeloma, one patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia and two persons with benign monoclonal hyperglobulinaemia (BMH) were examined by this technique. The ID-positive PBL population was shown to be heterogeneous with respect to non-tumour-specific surface markers, such as sheep erythrocytes (SRBC), Fc and C receptors. Tumour-specific idiotypic determinants will thus allow a more correct recognition of the total tumour cell compartment in these diseases.
